Biographical / Historical

Thomas J. Graff was born in Honduras on January 20, 1944, and grew up in Syracuse, New York. He graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School, later clerking for a federal court judge and working as a legislative assistant to New York Mayor John Lindsay. He relocated to San Francisco in 1970 and a year later founded the California office of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).

Under his direction, the California EDF undertook several successful projects. He was instrumental in the passage Central Valley Project Improvement Act of 1991, which established a “water market” through which farmers were allowed to sell unused water as an incentive to conserve, and which placed restrictions on the amount of water that could be diverted to farms and communities upstream of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Graff largely established the idea of using market incentives to encourage environmentally responsible behavior. Under his leadership, the EDF partnered with major foundations and corporations in their advocacy efforts. In 1993, EDF was one of seven foundation-funded environmental groups to endorse the NAFTA Treaty.

This collection documents EDF’s campaign against a plan by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to tap into the American River, as well as Graff’s fight against the Peripheral Canal. Graff was also instrumental in the effort to pass AB32, legislation that requires California to cap its total greenhouse gas emissions at 1990 levels by 2020. Starting in 2000, EDF participated in the effort to remove O'Shaughnessy Dam in Yosemite and restore the Hetch Hetchy Valley.

Graff died of thyroid cancer on November 12, 2009.
